Oluwatosin's Story I first became interested in coding after seeing how much impact technology has on our daily lives. I’ve always been fascinated by how apps, websites, and even the devices we use every day are created, but I never really knew how they worked behind the scenes. A while ago, I began to realize that coding is the key to creating all these things, and I became curious about how it all comes together. What really sparked my interest was seeing a friend of mine, who didn’t have a background in technology, learn how to code and build their own website. I was amazed at how quickly they picked it up and how empowering it seemed to be able to create something from nothing. The idea that coding could give me the ability to turn ideas into reality, whether it's a personal project or even a future career, was really exciting to me. Since then, I’ve decided to dive into learning coding, even though I’m starting from scratch. I’m motivated by the challenge of learning something completely new, and the idea that coding will allow me to think creatively and solve problems in ways I never could before. I’m excited about the journey ahead and the potential to use these skills in the future, whether for personal projects or in a professional setting.
My motivation for learning how to code stems from a combination of personal and professional interests. Professionally, I’m drawn to the idea of building tangible solutions to real-world problems. I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can solve challenges, and I want to be part of that process by creating software and tools that make a positive impact. Whether it's developing applications that improve productivity or working on projects that can help others, coding gives me the ability to take ideas from concept to reality. On a personal level, I’ve always enjoyed solving puzzles and breaking down complex problems into manageable pieces. Coding feels like the perfect way to channel this problem-solving mindset, as it requires logical thinking, creativity, and persistence. I’m excited by the challenge of learning new languages and frameworks, and I’m motivated by the continuous opportunity for growth and learning that coding offers. Ultimately, I see coding as a way to unlock new career opportunities and work in a field that’s dynamic and full of innovation. I'm motivated by the potential to not just learn a skill but to use it in ways that can lead to meaningful change and personal growth.
For fun, I like to explore a variety of activities, depending on my mood and the time I have.I enjoy reading, particularly books on personal development and creativity. I love learning new things, whether it's a new concept or a practical skill. It's both relaxing and stimulating for me.
